I regret it every time I get a haircut, but it’s there. No, it’s not on top of my head. As Rite the stylist said this weekend, “Boy you’ve got four heads of hair on one head.” Indeed it’s true. I was born with a full head of hair, and I’m showing all the signs of taking it to my grave.
But I do have a bald spot.
It’s man made too, that’s the worst part!
Out of stress and nervousness, at my old jobs, I plucked at longer-than-desired sideburn hairs until one day I realized I had created a miniature bald spot. Stress invaded me. It inhabited my mind.
And the worst part? It wasn’t all distress, some of it was eustress that I simply didn’t know how to process.
If no one has ever taught you to drink water or swim in water, all you know how to do is drown in it.
Learn how to process, analyze and accept stress. I’m still learning, but I’ve got it 95% licked.
First time I’ve checked your blog in a while. Two things:
1. “Eustress” as opposite of “distress” is a wonderful neologism.
2. Love this: “If no one has ever taught you to drink water or swim in water, all you know how to do is drown in it.”
